What Is Covered Under Hydrogen Energy Storage Market?

Hydrogen energy storage is defined as energy storage that stores electric power in the form of hydrogen. Hydrogen energy storage is a procedure in which renewable energy surpluses are used to power electrolysis during periods of low energy demand. Power electrolysis is a method of separating hydrogen from a chemical solution by passing an electrical current across it. The main types of storage technologies in hydrogen energy storage are compression, liquefaction, and material based. Efficient compression technology of hydrogen is required to achieve usable levels of energy density. The hydrogen energy is stored in three states solid, liquid, and gas. Hydrogen energy storage is used by the industrial, commercial, and utility sectors.

What Is The Driver Of The Hydrogen Energy Storage Market?

The increasing use of hydrogen in oil refineries and the chemical industries is contributing to the growth of the hydrogen energy storage market. Hydrogen is used for processing foods, treating metals, refining petroleum, and producing fertilizers. To lower the sulfur content of fuels in petroleum refineries, use hydrogen. For instance, according to a report published by the American Chemistry Council (ACC), a US-based industry trade association, the ACC anticipates that output will increase by 2.4% in 2023, with the amount spent on capital projects increasing by 5.5% in 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for hydrogen from oil refineries and the chemical industry is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen energy storage industry going forward.

Global Hydrogen Energy Storage Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the hydrogen energy storage market are developing advanced technologies, such as bar hydrogen tanks, to improve the efficiency and safety of hydrogen storage and transport, enabling more effective utilization of hydrogen as a clean energy source. Bar hydrogen tanks are high-pressure storage vessels designed to safely store hydrogen gas at pressures typically ranging from 350 to 700 bar (approximately 5,000 to 10,000 psi). For instance, in April 2024, Voith Group, a Germany-based technology company, launched its hydrogen storage subsidiary, Voith HySTech GmbH, and Plug & Drive H2 Storage System. The establishment of Voith HySTech GmbH reflects a growing emphasis on hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel source, particularly in sectors where electrification may not be sufficient. Plug & Drive H2 Storage System is a ready-to-install system designed specifically for heavy-duty vehicles. This system features integrated 700-bar hydrogen tanks.

What Are Latest Mergers And Acquisitions In The Hydrogen Energy Storage Market?

In September 2023, Chevron, a US-based integrated energy company developing low-carbon and hydrogen projects, acquired a majority stake in ACES Delta (Advanced Clean Energy Storage project) for an undisclosed amount.
